The Tarot Room – Georgianna

If you’re interested in sacred geometry and Tarot, or even if you just like really nice designs on cards, the Sacred Geometry Tarot Kickstarter project might be for you.

Artist and Tarot enthusiast Katenia Keller self-published a Majors only deck back in 2009 called the Pythias Sacred Geometry Tarot.

Keller used geometric symbolism to express the 22 Major Tarot archetypes and the resulting images are beautiful.

Her new project looks to be a completion of what she started with the Pythias. She’s finished paintings for all the Minor Arcana and is ready to print the full 78-card deck.

Take a look at the video below to see images from all the cards and to hear Keller herself describe the project.

And if you’d like to donate, visit her Kickstarter page.

Here’s another wonderful Tarot Kickstarter project to support!

It’s The Collective Tarot: Round III – the third pressing of this very hard to come by deck out of Portland, Oregon.

This deck was first created back in 2007 through the work of five core Tarot Collective members, and 25 different artists.

I really like it! It’s modern, inclusive, intelligent, yet as magical and fun as they come.

Take a look at the video below to see some of the cards, then go visit The Collective Tarot Kickstarter page.

You just might want to donate to the cause and get a copy for yourself. I did.

If you like photo decks and are interested in supporting the creation of one or two new ones, Kickstarter has a couple of projects going on right now that you might like.

Michelle Kelly has created 22 Major Arcana cards for her new deck which she describes as a ‘Journey on the Evolution of Becoming.”

The cards are stunning photo montage images, dreamy and very real at the same time.

Also creating a new deck is Robert Scott from New York City. He’s working on The Urban Tarot, which features Tarot archetypes as they’re found in the city environment.

Both decks look like they’re going to be really nice. I hope the artists are able to raise the funding they’re looking for.

If you’d like to know more, and to see some of the cards, visit their Kickstarter pages, and/or watch the videos below.

I wrote about this Kickstarter project last year, but unfortunately, the artist wasn’t able to reach her goal at the time and it was put on hold for a moment.

But the Stolen Child Tarot has made a reappearance, and this time Monica Knighton, creator of the Tarot of the Dead, has already raised the funds she needs to print her new 24 card deck.

Though she’s met her goal, I’m writing about her project again anyway, just in case you missed it before and/or didn’t know that there was a new opportunity to get yourself a copy.

The Stolen Child Tarot is inspired by the poem of the same name by William Butler Yeats. It features changeling children and magical creatures of the natural world.

In it, the mystic meets the adorable, and no adult humans are allowed.

Take a look for yourself by visiting Knighton’s Kickstarter page. Or watch the video below.

Here’s a Kickstarter Project I jumped to support … the Darkana Tarot Deck by Dan Donche.

Donche is the creator of the Inappropriate Tarot Readings page on Facebook, and he’s hysterical.

He’s not only inappropriate, but irreverent, bold, and sometimes outright blasphemous in his interpretation of the cards.

Though relatively new to Tarot, he caught on fast and his insights are both entertaining and often profound. And his new deck looks amazing.

His artwork is beautiful, modern and alive. Go to his Kickstarter page or Facebook to see some of the cards.

Donche’s intent with this deck is to break beyond conventional representations of the Rider Waite Smith Tarot in order to challenge and inspire.

I think he’s going to succeed, and I really look forward to getting my copy of the deck. You can get one too if you donate to the project.

He’s already raised the money he was looking for, but with more support, he can make more decks. The campaign runs until March 9th.
